Introduction

Rocky and Bullwinkle were traveling to find food when they took a wrong turn and ended up in the wrong biome. Can you help them find their way back home? Where do they live?

Task

Rocky and Bullwinkle are confused as to which biome they live in, the Coniferous Forest or the Deciduous Forest. Along their journey, they picked up a few friends who were lost as well. To help them find their correct home, you must figure out which animals live in which forest and the kind of climate each forest has. Last thing you must do is figure out the location of each forest to help give them directions home. How will you go about doing this?

Task Cont.

The friends that Rocky and Bullwinkle picked up were: A Grey Wolf Pine-Tar Vole Jack Rabbit Wood-Duck Weasel

Process

Number 1: Find out the climates of

each forest

Number 2: Figure out which animals

live in each forest

Number 3: Figure out the locations of

each forest

Number 4: Compile all the information

and figure out which forest they all live in

Use these specific websites, to help you find all the information you will need to figure out where Rocky and Bullwinkle live.

Coniferous Forest: Climate Animals

Deciduous Forest: Animals & Climate Animals & Climate

Evaluation
